My girlfriend and I celebrated two years together over the weekend. Happy anniversary, sweetie! It’s hard trying to find a proper way to celebrate during COVID-19. We didn’t want to travel anywhere too far, So we settled on a little day trip to the Chahinkapa Zoo, where even the animals were in on social distancing. One of their grizzlies…
You guys are helpful. I shared yesterday morning how the mask I had been wearing at work broke. One of the dang ear loops broke. It was just a reminder that we’ve been at this social distancing thing for so long masks are wearing out. It feels like I’m wearing out sometimes. But I’m feeling better this morning. I…
Even if we don’t hit a new record high today, temperatures are still dangerously hot outside. Just like they were yesterday. The experts at F-M ambulance say it’s during a long stretch of hot days that they typically see a spike in heat-related emergency calls. That’s often because after a day or so, we forget to keep ourselves hydrated. They…
This social distancing thing is carrying on for a while. We’re about three months in, and COVID-19 rates are still rising in many parts of the country. I got a reminder about how long we’ve all been doing this yesterday. If you remember, I compared a couple different reusable mask types a little over a month ago. I’ve been…
All this social distancing time is giving us time to cultivate new hobbies. It’s also making me realize I’m turning into my parents. We showed you the “puzzle swap” shed a woman in Maine created for her neighborhood to trade puzzles at a safe social distance. I hadn’t put a puzzle together in probably 15 years, but my mom has…
Sometimes it’s hard to social distance when something is so cute you just can’t stay away. Case in point, the newest addition to my friend’s animal rescue near New Rockford. A pair of orphaned ducklings, named Simon and River. They were rescued here in Fargo and moved out to the barn outside New Rockford. They’re described as equal parts…
We showed you what restaurants are looking like in Minnesota this morning now that they can serve customers inside. Things looks a little different than they used to. Along with A 50 percent capacity limit, restaurants workers are required to wear masks. Customers are encouraged to wear masks. Plus, reservations are required for any restaurant. But even with all…
The Fargo Police Department is reminding the community this morning this Pride Month there’s a liaison officer available for the local LGTBQ community. Pride Month is celebrated in June nationwide. Pride Week is celebrated locally in August, as well. The Pride Collective of Fargo-Moorhead announced back in May the cancellation of all in-person summer pride events due to the threat…
People can dine-in at restaurants and bars again in Minnesota starting June 10th. They state is loosening its COVID-19 restrictions, allowing indoor dining at restaurants up to 50 percent capacity. Restaurants had been allowed to do outdoor seating since June first, but that can be a crapshoot, as yesterday’s weather showed. Along with the 50 percent capacity limit, restaurants…
If you’ve read the above subhead to this story, thanks. Your interest in voting is part of what makes America so special. But today is election day in North Dakota, and unlike in years past, we can’t just waltz out to our local polling place and cast your ballot. Instead, this election is via mail in-ballot only. County Commissions in…
